By the way Huck, did they offer the XT6 with a manual or did you have to swap that as well?

The XT6 came with Either :
Manual 5-Speed AWD with a center dif lock
4EAT AWD
4EAT FWD
So I did not have to swap it.

I think the stalling issue is generally the IAC, the people that have issues with stalling probably had a weak IAC when they had the automatic in, but it wasn't bad enough to be a problem, but with the manual it is more noticeable and causes the stalling problem....but that is just my Theory on it..
